Fifteen-year-olds in Kansas will be able to drive by themselves to and from worship services and other religious activities, starting in July.  The governor on Tuesday signed into law a bill to expand driving privileges for holders of restricted licenses.

The law already allows 15-year-olds to drive by themselves to and from work. The change will allow them to drive to and from religious activities from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

A restricted license also already allows 15-year-olds to drive anywhere at any time if an adult with a valid license is sitting in the front passenger’s seat.
